Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Institute of Mathematics.

Sitting at his desk and looking at the paper, Director Dai Huohong squinted his eyes and said with praise while touching his beard, which was so thin that it was almost nonexistent.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

It's not the same as Professor Faltins.

After seeing the proof of the ABC conjecture, Director Dai's reaction was quite frank. It took less than ten minutes to flip through the paper from beginning to end, and then I slapped a rainbow fart in the air.

Academician Xiang Huanan, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't listen to it anymore, and couldn't help but complain.

"What are you doing there?"

Closing the paper, Director Dai said with a smile.

"Of course it's Academician Lu's paper, what else can it be?"

Academician Xiang: "......"

Although he wanted to joke "Do you understand what he wrote, it's funny there", but he still resisted the urge to complain and changed the topic.

"Some time ago, I asked you not to rush to poach people everywhere, and asked you to wait and see the situation at Jinling University, but you didn't listen. Now, Academician Lu and his team have solved this problem by themselves, where are the Chinese mathematical professors you have dug up from overseas institutions going to arrange? ”

"I've dug it up, what else can I do if I keep it." Director Dai was open-minded, and he didn't feel a loss, and said with a smile, "You can't solve the problem, just kick people away, right?" Anyway, the money for digging people is a special fund allocated by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and it will not crowd out the resources of other projects in the institute, what if it is used in the future? These are all bad words. ”

Academician Xiang Huanan couldn't help but scold.

"You old guy is a chicken thief."

"What chicken thief is not chicken thief, you can't change the word to a better one!"

To say that it is not a pity, it is impossible.

After all, whoever proves the ABC conjecture will have the hope of getting the 100 million yuan a year in scientific research funding.

Although this 100 million yuan is not directly given to scientific research institutions, but to follow the people who solve the problem, when the money is allocated, it is impossible to directly transfer it to the professor's account, right?

Generally speaking, it is first paid to the special account of the university or research institute for scientific research funds, and then reimbursed in batches according to the use of the application.

As is customary in academia, universities take a cut of the management fee. As for the proportion of the commission, it is determined according to a series of factors such as the management rules issued by the relevant departments, the professor's coffee position, the scale of the fund, the nature of the horizontal and vertical topics, etc., with an average of about 5% to 10% of the two grades, and the latter is the majority, and the highest can even account for three or four percent, but it is not common in China.

So why do major universities like to compete for academicians?

One of the most direct reasons is because of money!

What a happy thing it is to lie on the account with 100 million scientific research funds, I believe that there is no need to explain more, and everyone can feel it.

Even if you don't take into account the five points and ten points of management fees, this money is enough to feed the "sub-projects" under countless major projects, as well as the Yangtze River scholars, young people and scientific research brick-movers who rely on the sub-projects to eat.

Thinking of this, Director Dai still felt a little painful.

If it weren't for Lu Zhou, Cheng Biting Jin, who came in halfway, and the Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which dug a basket of corners from Princeton and Paris, would have been the most promising person in China to solve the ABC conjecture.

Regardless of this probability, at least it is relatively largest.

But what to say, although this bite of meat seems to be inedible, there is no other chance in the future.

After all, the days are still long, and there are still more opportunities to communicate with that "extraterrestrial civilization", and seeing that they are so persistent in the ABC conjecture, eighty percent are fond of the charm of mathematics.

In this regard, not only Director Dai, who "does not know the inside story", is full of confidence, but most of the domestic mathematical research institutions have similar ideas.

The so-called, to count the number of friends.

I don't know what day in the future, number theory will become the first bridge of friendship between earthly civilizations and extraterrestrial civilizations......

……

As for the impact of the proof of the ABC conjecture on the mathematical community and the world, Lu Zhou actually had a vision before uploading the paper.

However, even though he considered a lot of things, he underestimated the scale of the tsunami to a certain extent.

And, the breadth of the strike area!

Especially when Xiao Ai told him that the Arxiv website was paralyzed on the day the paper was uploaded, and it was definitely not his own, Lu Zhou couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

What do you say?

It seems that the whole world has taken the ABC conjecture as the key to opening the door to dialogue with extraterrestrial civilizations.

As a result, governments have even convened the United Nations General Assembly to urgently negotiate the establishment of a loose political alliance similar to the "Human Alliance" or the "Earth Federation" in order to seek a unified position on "foreign-related" issues and to study "foreign-related" policies that are in line with the overall interests of mankind.

However, only Lu Zhou himself knows that there is any "extraterrestrial civilization", maybe it does exist in a corner of the universe, but at least for now, everything is still just a flash in the pan.

And the key in his hand is not as good as people fantasize, what it can open is just a treasure chest left by a void civilization.

If there were only a few thousand tubes of energy potions in it, or a large pile of processed alloy ore, it would be a big joke.

According to this broken system, when redeeming prizes, it is really possible to play such an international joke with him.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Lu Zhou only hopes for one thing now, that is, the result of his trip to Mars, which will not have any negative impact on the future development of human civilization.

Especially what are the "people's union" and "local union"......

Every time Director Li excitedly asked him which name was better and could better show the demeanor of a great country in China to other countries, Lu Zhou's head was about to explode.

I still have to smile and come up with ideas together.

After all, ignoring those things that only he knows, this is indeed a great joy for the whole world. Don't show the joy of the point, and the problem will burst later. It's really hard to explain when it's exposed.

In addition to these big impacts, there are also some repercussions that ripple in a small area.

For example, according to Xiao Ai's report, because the Arxiv server was down, the number of visits to the LSPM website he attached to his personal homepage and paper suddenly became another outlet for this huge traffic.

The average number of daily visitors exceeded one million, and tens of thousands of posts piled up as if seeking resources, making this temporary discussion page in the form of BBS become the world's largest academic exchange forum for a while.

Faced with such a situation, Lu Zhou was also unexpected.

After some consideration, he finally took Ai's suggestion and allowed it to upgrade the site and open up a few additional sub-categories.

On the one hand, it is to divert the people who watch the excitement, to give the people who don't know the truth a watering environment for discussion, and on the other hand, it also allows those who can pass the answer threshold and really come to the paper itself to exchange academic questions.

After all, Lu Zhou's original intention in setting up this temporary discussion page was to give everyone in the entire mathematical community a chance to review the manuscript together.

At the same time, it is also a matter of improving the results of him and his teammates......

In this way, time passed day by day, and the day of departure was getting closer and closer.

After several meetings, the launch schedule was successfully announced.

The second wave of migrants to the special zone of Gwanghan city will depart in mid-May.

At the same time, the expedition team to Mars will also follow the flight to the Moon Palace, where it will stop for a short time and transfer to a new colony ship to the desert planet tens of millions of kilometers away.

Although he felt a headache about the second contact that was about to start, Lu Zhou had no better way, so he could only hold the attitude of the boat to the bridgehead and take one step at a time.

It's just that just when he was ready to go to Mars, something unexpected happened to him.

Lu Zhou never expected that Schulz, who had just returned to Germany, would be sent back to Jinling.

Moreover, it was Director Li who accompanied him......
